Joie de Vivre 50162 Mini Fry Egg Pan with Nonstick Surface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While cute, this little pan is difficult to use. There's no room to use a spatula, so you'd better like the eggs cooked through - you can't flip for over easy, and the egg white is too deep to do sunny-side up. Also the handle gets hot and the little plastic egg bit is not enough to grip, so you have to use a potholder. Plus, it's so small that it won't fit any normal-sized burner - another burn risk to your fingers.

Nordic Ware Non-stick Egg Poacher Insert for 10 Inch to 12 Inch Skillets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you don't want to spend $30+ to on a specialized pan to poach eggs once in awhile, get this egg poacher insert.For less than $10 you get a versatile pan insert that fits in any 10" skillet, saving you time and money.Be sure you spray the surface with a non-stick spray before dropping in your eggs or the whites will stick.Once the whites stick too often, the pan becomes unusable. But who cares?At these prices, I bought 2!

Norpro Stainless Steel 10 Inch Egg Poacher Skillet Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In a competitor's (let's say Brand X) poacher with plastic (ugh) cups, the thermal conductivity of the cups is so low that eggs effectively cook only from the top down from being directly exposed to the steam.Result:after 9 minutes of poaching (at 7300 feet), the yolk (which floats on top) and the top half of the egg white are firm; meanwhile the egg white on the bottom still quivers like jelly and is semi-transparent (ugh).And the cooking pan is quite shallow (just under one and one half inches inner measure), with the result that boiling water easily spills over on top of the poaching eggs, creating a real mess inside and out.
The stainless steel egg cups on this unit are perfectly formed and slightly flattened on the bottom with a thermal conductivity so good that eggs cook pretty equally from all sides.The pan is quite deep (just under two and three-eight inches inner measure) so that the poaching tray rides very high over the surface of the boiling water.The result is a perfectly poached egg, no messes, to whatever degree of firmness of the white one wants.Yet one can still have a soft or partially soft yolk, impossible to achieve with "Brand X" above.At an elevation of 7300 feet, poaching time using this pan for a firm white and medium (non-runny) yolk was 6 minutes; for a firm white and softer yolk, between 4 and 5 minutes.Lower elevations should adjust these times downward a minute or two.
Because of its' stainless steel composition, depth and diameter, the pan can also be used for other cooking.Indeed, this reviewer dares to suggest that despite its higher price, this unit is almost a mandatory addition to any good cook's staple of cooking utensils.Because of bad past experiences with the kind of riveted handle attachment to the pan used here, which breaks off too easily, this reviewer docks this unit one-half star.Aside from that, the design and materials of this product are generous indeed; it's appearance is so attractive that this reviewer left it sitting on top of the range as general décor.The only other gripe is with the shipping expense which was one-fourth of the total cost.But in all fairness the heavy-duty packaging did protect the glass lid and unit as a whole.
If you are looking for a great egg poacher, buy this model!

Norpro 8.5 Inch Egg Poacher Skillet Set with Removable 4 Egg Poacher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pan reminds me of the somewhat flimsy items you can find in supermarkets -- bright and shiny but not built last.The handle has no heft, and the egg cups and frame seem unlikely to last for long.I suppose that's the best you can get for $30 these days.However, after trying the cute little silicone egg poachers also available at Amazon, I was much happier with the egg-cooking experience using this pan.The eggs cooked evenly and there was no difficulty with water boiling up over the sides of the cups, as is the case with the silcone versions.

Update -- one week later:I pulled one of the egg cups out of the dishwasher and watched the little handle/knob bounce away.The screw holding it had come loose during the wash cycle.Being smaller than the screen at the bottom of my machine, the screw must have disappeared down the drain.So, now I have to make the time to visit the hardware store to see if I can find a replacement.What a nuisance!I'm dropping my rating from 3 down to 2 stars for this.
